re: #143 calochortus

Actually, being 66 I apparently should have gotten the “senior” version (trivalent and 4 times as strong) but they didn’t have any. I went for the “regular” one as it is quadravalent and judging from my immune system’s rather, umm, robust response to my Shingrix vaccine, I don’t think I need something stronger to get it to respond to a flu vaccine.

My first shingles shot of this set made me ache a bit. The second just knocked me flat on my azz. I ended up just going to bed. Maybe the fact that I was only about 6 weeks from being in the hospital with sepsis made that reaction really hit. Still, am glad I got it! My cousin has had a bout of it that has lasted about 10 months, and she is miserable, and can’t (I assume) love on her grandbabies, or see her 96 year old father. I do not need that!
